What can I say about a series that is is so great that this first game has its up or downs in it that make it worth the ride.
Story: Starting with the story, the first Cold Steel game has this thing with it more of a world-building game, than a more focused story game. With this being the first in a new arc Falcom (the developers) are into wanting this world to feel alive. Within a series of trails, the world is everything because of how complex it is. That is why I label this as more of a world-building game for the arc ahead.
Side Content: For side content, it is like how I said with my CS4 review the side content in this game is well done. Trails side quest can have some bad padding at times but in the end it worth doing it because it builds the world up in a way where the game makes it worth doing.
Platinum Experience: For going for the plat I had to play this game two times due to some stuff that can only be gotten on a second playthrough (also had to beat on the highest difficulty). The highest difficulty is not that hard until I say the last 75% but in the end doing it was worth it because I love this series, even having to deal with some bullshit fights I say that is an achievement in itself. Also, this game has a lot of missable collectibles so I would totally recommend a guide if you want to complete it
Enjoyment: Trails Of Cold Steel is the first in a series that shows great promise going into it.
